System Offers In-State Tuition

The University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents has approved the waiver of the 12-month
residency requirement for civilian employees and defense contractors transferred
to Maryland under the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC). The waiver
allows these categories of workers, as well as their spouses and dependent
children, to qualify for in-state tuition immediately upon their
transfer.

In addition, the board's action allows these
categories to submit adequate documentation of a BRAC-related transfer (from the
Department of Defense or the employee's military unit for the civilian
employees, and from their employers for the defense contractors) in lieu of
documentation of the criteria set forth in USM's standard policy on establishing
residency.
